Drug & Alcohol Treatment
Vicodin Addiction
A common painkiller that can lead to opioid dependence.
Vicodin combines an opioid (hydrocodone) with acetaminophen, and like other opioids it can create dependence when used beyond its intended purpose. The added acetaminophen also makes high doses dangerous to the liver.
Vicodin addiction is opioid addiction, and it responds well to safe withdrawal support and compassionate ongoing care.
